Last month I started teaching a new seminar centered around educating children with ASD. It was brilliant! I don't mean my work was that spectacular, but I felt more comfortable teaching this brand new course than I EVER felt teaching my last geriatrics seminar. Feeling so at ease must mean I am on the right track. The people who attended were pleased too. Another positive sign because it doesn't matter how much I am enjoying myself if I am speaking to a room full of empty chairs.
Once again, time for traveling and teaching. This should be an interesting tour as I will be in Lexington, KY and Huntington, WV. The city of Huntington is the home of my alma mater, Marshall University (GO HERD), where I graduated with my MA in Communication Disorders. I am a little nervous, knowing that the conference room will full of those I may know, professionally and personally. Professors, friends, and mentors coming to hear what I have learned over the past decade. YIKES!!!!
Bottom line...I am confident the educators, therapists, or parents who come to the seminar this week will walk away with some important information, some practical advice, and maybe even a more thorough understanding of these amazing kids on the autism spectrum. I am certain I will move forward from this experience with a better understanding of myself as an educator and speaker, as I take on this high pressure situation. I also think it will be tons of fun spending a day with old colleagues and friends.
Hope to see you there!! YAY!
